It is about the loss and deviation of meaning in the transmission and repetition of language—the meticulous fixation on the exactness of grammatical phrasing and language correctness.
I used cassette tapes and a tape recorder, for which I physically modified its appearance and structure, redesigned its circuit layout so that it works in a way that approaches to the ideal effect. The cassette tapes are self-recorded with lectures I took in recent times. For the surroundings, the“English wall” wall is a delicately decorated space with posters indoctrinating good standard language put up by the English teachers. The second space is the living space of the floor management person, only few steps away from “the wall”.
As the tape blends in with its surroundings while it plays, it also gradually wears away with the knobs until the sound distorts and completely deforms eventually.
